Prawn Stars of the Show: Kataifi Perfection at Protea Hotel Balalaika

If seafood had a red carpet, these prawns would be the ones striking a pose.

At the Protea Hotel by Marriott Johannesburg Balalaika Sandton, the spotlight is on the Prawn Kataifi special—and it’s every bit as glamorous (and delicious) as it sounds.

For R150, guests can enjoy succulent prawns wrapped in a delicate, golden-crisp kataifi pastry that shatters perfectly with every bite.

  • It’s indulgence with a crunch, made even better with a side of zingy chilli-coriander mayo—the kind of dip that brings the heat while keeping things refreshingly balanced. Served at Lords Bar, Destination Lounge & Bar, and through room service, this small plate is designed to make a big impression. Whether you’re pairing it with a cocktail, sharing with friends, or keeping every last bite to yourself (we wouldn’t blame you), it’s a dish that proves seafood really can steal the show.
